DANGER
DO NOT TOUCH GLASS
NEVER ALLOW CHILDREN
A barrier designed to reduce the risk of
burns from the hot viewing glass is provided
with this appliance and shall be installed for
the protection of children and other at-risk
individuals.
WARNING! Risk of Fire! Combustible materials MUST
NOT overlap or be placed under a surround.
CAUTION! Risk of Cuts or Abrasions. Wear protective
gloves and safety glasses during installation. Sheet metal
edges are sharp.
CAUTION! Do not install damaged components. If
you received components that are damaged, contact your
dealer for assistance.
Note: These decorative fronts are designed to overlap
finishing materials such as tile or marble with thickness 1
inch or less (including backer material such as mortar, lath,
etc). These may also be installed as an "inside fit" where
the finishing materials are installed adjacent to the perimeter
of the decorative decorative front. See appliance installation
instructions for more information.
NOTE: The hammered pattern, decorative wire placement
and other features of the Forge decorative front may vary
from the showroom display model due to the handcrafted
nature of the Forge decorative front.
NOTICE: DO NOT adhere or allow any adhesive backed
materials to come into contact with the Forge decorative
front surface.
